- The team says its water-filter biochar is made a few hundred meters from its kilns; the first treatment phase passed government lab tests.
Field notes
The described water process runs through rock, sand, and locally produced biochar before UV treatment. The homepage reports five kilns in operation, 242 farmers in the seed and soil program as of October 2024, and doubled bean yields on amended fields in 2025. It also lists community savings, disability inclusion, and mental-health support among its programs.
